    EE 503 Probability for Electrical and Computer Engineers Fall 2015

    Course Syllabus and Information v.1.3


    31 August 2015
    The deadline to add or drop this class (with 100% refund) is 11 September 2015
    The withdrawal deadline (no refund) is 13 November 2015
    Course Summary: This course covers mathematical and probabilistic descriptions of
    unpredictable or random phenomena, with applications to many engineering problems.
    Probabilistic tools are among the most useful for modeling real systems and analyzing system
    performance. The course provides a solid background in probability theory and related topics for
    graduate students in electrical and computer engineering (ECE), financial engineering, and other
    engineering majors. The course includes material from first principles in a more rigorous
    manner than is typically found in undergraduate probability classes in engineering.

    Grading (This may change)
    Your course grade is determined by a process of reasoning. Everyone will receive the highest
    grade justified by available evidence from the following data:
    2 Midterms = 23.5% each (in class, Tuesday, 6 October and Tuesday, 10 November)
    Final = 40% (will be given Tuesday, 15 December, 8:00 am-10:00 am as listed in the
    USC exam schedule; there are NO exceptions to this date - if you can't take
    the final at this time, do not enroll in this course)
    Homework = 13% (two lowest average homework grades will be discarded)
    DEN students in the local area must come to campus for the exams.
    Attendance in class is required. Many examples and applications not in the text will be covered
    in the lectures.
    Homework
    Homework will be assigned every week on Thursday, and due the following Thursday.
    Homework will be graded – solutions are provided on Tuesday following the due date. You can
    turn in homework late until solutions are posted for full credit. No credit after solutions appear.
    It is extremely important to keep up with the lectures and to do the homework problems. Many
    details and applications of the principles are learned by doing problems.
    Course Web Site and Email
    Make sure your email listed in USC records is up-to-date; I will contact you often by email. The
    course web site is accessible through https://courses.uscden.net/d2l/home.
    Academic Integrity - Cheating
    Cheating or plagiarism will not be tolerated on homework or exams. You may discuss
    homework problems among yourselves, but each person must do their own work and submit
    individual solutions written in their own hand. Copying or turning in identical homework sets is
    cheating. The penalty ranges from F on the homework or exam, to an F in the course, to
    recommended expulsion. See:
    http://viterbi.usc.edu/academics/integrity/
    http://www.usc.edu/student-affairs/SJACS/pages/students/academic_integrity.html
    http://www.usc.edu/libraries/about/reference/tutorials/academic_integrity/index.phphttp://www.u
    If you have any questions regarding academic integrity - see the instructor.
    USC Statement on Academic Integrity
    USC seeks to maintain an optimal learning environment. General principles of academic
    honesty include: the concept of respect for the intellectual property of others, the expectation that
    individual work will be submitted unless otherwise allowed by an instructor, and the obligations
    both to protect one’s own academic work from misuse by others as well as to avoid using
    another’s work as one’s own. All students are expected to understand and abide by these
    principles. SCampus, the Student Guidebook, (www.usc.edu/scampus or
    http://scampus.usc.edu) contains the University Student Conduct Code (see University
    Governance, Section 11.00)
